“It was always my childhood dream to represent India in sports but pressure from family to excel in studies derailed that dream. However, my unwavering passion for sports enabled me to take up the role of a team doctor and eventually wear the India colours. I always wanted to wear the Services uniform too so this was the best way possible to live my dreams,” he said.
His first International stint as the team doctor was in 2007 when he took up the role with Indian Youth Boxing Team for a span of two years.
